More Christmas stitching!

A group of 6 stitchers got together and started a new private group where we have arranged to exchange for 3 rounds. The first round was a Christmas theme and this is what I sent to my partner Lisa S....


Design:  Prairie Schooler "Song of the Season"
OOP chart, my Mom's not mine :)
Fabric:  32ct Mushroom Lugana
Floss is DMC as charted
Finished as a flatfold

I won't tell you how long it took me to stitch up this design but it seemed to take forever!  LOL.  I enjoyed every single stitch though and just like every other Prairie Schooler design I have stitched before, it grew more beautiful with every stitch!  I borrowed the pics that Lisa took because I hit the delete button instead of upload on my computer!  I'm so happy that Lisa loved this finish too, it turned out beautifully!

My exchange from Lisa is on it's way, hopefully it will arrive soon.  Funnily enough we both mailed out on the same day and we had bets to see whose parcel would arrive first.  Ha!  I knew I would loose :0)  I just wonder how many more days it will take for Canada Post to deliver it???

Thanks for stopping by again and your well wishes, my migraine is now gone ~

23 friends had this to say!:
